Plants medium to large, pale green to yellow-green, occasionally reddish, brown below; terricolous or saxicolous. Stems 35-110 mm high; internal cylinder brownish to green, hyalodermis efibrillose, pores weakly defined, ± 1 per cell; in section inner cells large, thin-walled, outer cells smaller, frequently incrassate, coloured, occasionally only weakly thickened, hyalodermis 1 cell thick. Fascicles of 4-5 dimorphic branches: 2-3 spreading, 1-2 pendent; internal cylinder brownish, hyalodermis efibrillose, pores weakly defined. Stem leaves oblong, 1.8-2.0 mm long; apex obtuse; margins plane, border of 2-4 rows of narrow cells extending to near apex; leucocysts regularly fibrillose, pores few, scattered along commissures; in section chlorocysts trapezoid with wider exposure on dorsal surface, rarely elliptical, equally exposed, leucocysts bulging ventrally or occasionally weakly bulging on both surfaces. Branch leaves broadly lanceolate to ovate-acuminate, 2.0-4.2 mm long; apex truncate, toothed; margins erect, border of 1-2 rows of narrow cells extending to upper leaf; leucocysts regularly fibrillose, pores few, scattered along commissures; in section chlorocysts trapezoid with wider exposure on dorsal surface, leucocysts bulging ventrally.
